It has broken, even in 2.6.18-rc3, see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/30/163
'2.6.18-rc3 does not like an old udev (071)' and beyond.
It now requires udev 079, in disaccordance with the Documentation/Changes
file.
This breaks Ubuntu LTS, which for some reason chose to ship udev 071.
It'll probably also cause trouble for the upcomming release of Slackware.
Slackware 11 is just around the corner and slackware-current currently
has udev 071. The kernel is 2.4.32 or 2.6.17.7 (user choice), but I'll
bet many people will want to install newer kernels.
